Sen De La

The Rise of the Nine Dragons – Shadows Over Southeast Asia is an epic tale of a group of individuals facing the looming threat of a powerful organized crime syndicate, the Nine Dragons Syndicate, which holds a tight grip over the economy and politics of Southeast Asia. The story follows the journey of Bintang, a former journalist, and Sebastian, a time traveler, as they confront the cunning tactics and dark forces led by influential figures like Tian Hao and Yun Feng. 
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Jakarta and Indonesia's new capital (IKN), the core conflict revolves around political ambition, environmental crises, and economic manipulation. The tension arises as personal political agendas clash with the greater good, forcing Bintang and his team—comprising a former hacker, a diplomat, an environmental activist, and a conservation officer—to battle not just for justice but for the future of their land. Together, they face an enemy that wields not only power and wealth but also the ability to disrupt the natural balance.
At the same time, we have Heru, a character-driven by revenge and the pursuit of scientific advancements. His motivations create a tension-filled dynamic within the narrative, adding depth to the ongoing conflict between Bintang's team and the Nine Dragons.

Clarissa sits across from Lia in a seemingly normal restaurant, but the tension in the air is palpable. Lia has just received new information from within the local government. 


"The local government in Jakarta is already trapped. They can't act without approval from Whoosh. Every step they take, from construction to policy, is controlled from their center." 


"So, we’re not just fighting the Nine Dragons. We’re fighting the entire system they’ve built. Everyone here, from officials to workers, is tied to them." 


"That’s what makes this resistance so hard. They control this world through technology. But we need to find a way to turn it around." 


Clarissa lifted her coffee cup, eyes hard. "We’ll find that crack. And we’ll break it, piece by piece."
